What is the normal oil pressure for a Focus?
1 Answers
The oil pressure of a Focus should generally not be lower than 100kpa at normal idle speed, and should be maintained within the range of 200kpa to 450kpa at medium-high speeds. The following are specific reasons for low oil pressure: 1. Severe oil loss: Severe oil loss can lead to low oil pressure. It is necessary to check whether there is any external component leakage or internal oil burning phenomenon in the engine. Additionally, low oil viscosity or poor oil quality can also cause this issue. 2. Electrical component failure: Inspect whether the oil pressure switch, engine wiring harness, and instrument cluster are functioning normally. If the engine oil pressure measured with a pressure gauge is within the standard range and there is no low oil pressure, the issue may be due to faulty electrical components causing the instrument cluster indicator to falsely indicate low oil pressure. 3. Oil pump filter screen blockage: Or issues with the internal pressure relief valve may cause low oil pressure. Repairing or replacing the oil pump can resolve this problem.
